Let's party like it's 1989!

Well it has been a little while hasn't it? Right down to the haircuts, this band has it all going wrong. If I was to say that they were from Leicester and that they had adopted that cocksure arrogant posture much beloved of certain Mancuian bands of the last (is it nearly 20 years already?) 20 years. That their music was the same watered down facsimile of those bands that those same bands themselves ended up producing once their one idea had run it's course. You could be forgiven for assuming I was talking about Kasabian. But this is Leicester and where Kasabian have trod, many others follow. No friends, I speak of course of The Manhattan Project. Named after the allieds WWII efforts to develop the nuclear bomb, because apparently they are "The muthafukin bomb." They have transported themselves away through time and space to Manchester in the mid '80s. Well in their minds they have. Of course in the real world it is 2007 and they are in Leicester. So you can see their problem.
